100 metre tall motorway bridge collapses in Genoa, Italy
A major bridge has collapsed near the northern Italian city of Genoa, police say.
The bridge, a part of the A10 motorway, is about 100 metres tall, Italian media say - and there are unconfirmed reports that cars may have been involved.
Photographs from the scene show huge sections of rubble on the ground underneath the middle of the bridge.
One image shows a truck perched at the end of the surviving bridge section immediately before the drop.
